Description S. Christian Collins 2011-07-30 03:07:23 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

After upgrading to KDE 4.7.0 from 4.6.5, the Invert desktop effect no longer activates when using the key combination.  I have tried using other keyboard combinations to no avail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to activate the Invert desktop effect using the appropriate keyboard shortcut.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
The screen or active app's colors should invert.

can you please ensure that you have shaders enabled? Just run kwin from a konsole and paste 
the debug output.

Here is my debug output from kwin:

> GLSL shaders:                           limited

We currently disable all GLSL shaders if the GPU only supports limited GLSL. I am sorry that at the moment there is no way to use the invert effect with your GPU.

I will try to add an environment variable to enforce GLSL even for limited GL.
Comment 4 S. Christian Collins 2011-07-30 14:57:51 UTC 
An environment variable would be nice.  Thanks for all you do, Martin!  KDE has truly been a computing dream come true for me, even with the occasional glitch :)
